Peugeot 309 d turbo project - adampug - 08-11-2016

[Image: dd700f78f2dfb87321a1832863614a95.jpg]
Here is my 1989 peugeot 309 1.9 na. I have owned for over a year now but think it's time to make some changes. Recently fitted coilovers and a pre lowered rear beam and some capri alloys
[Image: e380ba602a0f845ce0613e80a791073d.jpg]
Also had a sump guard fabricated so can lower the front down more without damaging the important stuff.

I bought a 306 d turbo and removed engine/ gearbox and a few other bits from it then scrapped what was left.

I have now started work on the 306 engine. I am going to replace headgasket, cambelt kit and clutch before putting in the car. I am also wanted to change the lucas pump for a bosch setup and possibly fit xantia manifold for a front mount intercooler. Just trying to source some parts drop me a message if you have anything that might be help ful

Ooh cool project, not a fan of the Capri alloys though.

Gonna pop on a bigger turbo while the engine is out?

I want to get the engine cleaned up and painted with all new gaskets. Wouldn't mind changed pump injectors turbo and manifold if the parts come up at the right price

Get rid of that restrictive air intake too, if u want an oem option rob the pipes off a 405 xud 1.9 Smile love the 309's btw, good move swapping the block Smile

Looks a goodun. Nice colour as well...first car was a 205 with the same colour and pinstripe down the side.

Paint the block....everyone knows the paint keeps it together.

watching with interest.

if its red you will be able to see oil leaks a lot more easier than if its black!


RE: Peugeot 309 d turbo project - Piggy - 09-11-2016

Try and get some ARP headbolts in there while you are at it

I was thinking same thing. I've got some red engine paint but was undecided

I stripped the head off last night and sump. I wouldn't mind hdi rods aswel. Was unsure if arp bolts would be necessary or not

Just an ideal moment. If going for better blower...ARPs are just a great reassurance

Not me. Never was a fan of it. Base spec 1.3 with wallowy suspension ain't my bag baby.
Hopefully Fish will do something ridiculous with it and we'll see it again.

Guessing this is a 2 hole head gasket?

Notches are on the flywheel end of the hg, count them. Though tbf they vary in such a small amount of thickness it doesn't massively matter.

Based on piston protrusion from the deck, not affected by having the head skimmed

Lowered the front an inch today and fitted studs instead of bolts. [Image: 8e71294228c922972f2ffd9763bbf536.jpg]
Think I need bigger brakes soon

If that is the sort of threaded bar you buy at diy places it is not suitable for wheel studs.
Far too soft and no shoulder for the wheel.

Proper wheel studs. Peugeot thread into the hub then ford thread as I have ford wheels
